Adrian Peterson peeked up at the video board at the end of his 82-yard touchdown run and saw St. Louis Rams players trailing far behind him. And with each fancy high-step to cap it off, the Minnesota Vikings' running back moved closer to the NFL rushing record. Peterson piled up a season-best 212 yards on 24 carries in a 36-22 victory Sunday that wasn't as close as the score indicated. He has a career-best 1,812 yards rushing, leaving him 294 shy of breaking the NFL's single-season mark of 2,105 set by Eric Dickerson of the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.
